5 Minutes with Rebecca Minkoff

Last night designer Rebecca Minkoff came through Chicago to share one of her latest bags with fans. Rebecca collaborated with not only Nordstrom, but also thousands of social media fans to design a bag “inspired by our favorite type of woman: strong and feminine.” Here’s what the designer shared with us…

What can you tell me about the Crowd Source Bag [available exclusively in Nordstrom stores] you’re here to celebrate?

We took it to the people and this is the bag they helped design. People submitted ideas [on Instagram] and we voted on what we liked to come out with this guy.

Word on the street is Chicago is getting a stand alone Rebecca Minkoff store. Are the rumors true?

Hopefully we’ll be open by December! We’re under construction on Oak Street. It will be really similar to our NYC store.

Looking forward to fall- What does every woman need in her closet this year?
